Dirk Gently: The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul

Advantages: Great listen
Disadvantages: Other passengers will wonder why you are laughing

This is one of Douglas Adam's lesser known novels but just as good as the more well known Hitchhiker's series. If you have ever lived through the interminable time between teatime and supper on a Sunday afternoon you will identify with this book and enjoy ...

Review of Dirk Gently: The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul - Douglas Adams

Bathsheets in Space

Advantages: Hilarious, Classic, Well-written, Well-acted, generally brilliant.
Disadvantages: Not in a terribly convenient format for listening to one episode at a time

mostly harmless

Advantages: Great, spaced-out fun
Disadvantages: errr......

...This radio play is one of the smartest and funniest around. Adams' largely plotless creation is full of ironic humour, as well as complete wierdness. The 'story' follows an earthman, Arthur Dent, who is rescued when the Earth is destroyed (to make way f ...
